My new friend Jessica from Polished Sense (follow her on Twitter here!) recently sold beautiful earrings on her site to benefit the Haiti earthquake relief efforts. What a wonderful idea! (Everyone wins!) I had to snatch up three pairs...all for a good cause, of course! Here are the earrings I purchased, I can't wait to wear them! Check out her amazing site for helpful "how-to-wear's," outfit inspiration, and trendy fashions.

I love Etsy.com. One of the things I love most about Etsy is that I get to connect with independent artisans and purchase beautiful, handmade wares. Recently I have connected with Tali, the artist behind LuckXury.

Tali is a co-manager of a PR firm in Israel by day and a creative jewelry designer by night. Her line emerged from a desire for unique, meaningful, and fashionable jewelry. Tali hand makes each piece, combining turquoise, symbology, and high quality leather. Each piece is even durable enough to wear in water.

LuckXury believes in creating pieces that bring good energy and luck to the wearer. This unique concept blends old world ideas with modern, trendy fashion. The meaning behind some of Tali's charms comes from a unique gift from her grandmother on her wedding day. (Tali's grandmother placed a clove of garlic in her bra on her wedding day to bring her good energy and ward off evil!)

In need of some good vibes? Head over to her Etsy shop or website and check out her fabulous and reasonably priced jewelry! All of my blog readers get 20% off when you mention "Pink" in your message to Tali on Etsy! Not sure which piece to choose? I have chosen some of my favorites just for you! I personally think that these bracelets would look great worn with your favorite watch or layered with other mixed bracelets! (How cool is it that these come all the way from Israel?!?)

Thank you so much to everyone who entered. I am so flattered, thrilled, thankful...the list goes on...for everyone's support and kind comments. I can't wait to meet all my new followers! (If you tweet, follow me on Twitter and let me know you are a reader!) Also, a VERY special thank you to Caroline of Caroline Grace Jewelry for sponsoring this spectacular giveaway!!! Head over to her shop and check out her complete line and all of her beautiful new cuffs, I am in love!

Check back soon for more special giveaways and discounts! If you are wondering how I picked, I entered the names into an Excel spreadsheet, assigned numbers, and then used a random number equation to choose a corresponding name! (I had to put my Excel knowledge from school to good use!) Thanks again and congratulations Eleanor!

Hiya friends! My blog has reached over 100 followers and I could not be more thrilled! More importantly, I am so excited to announce the winner of the Graceful Giveaway TOMORROW, February 19th, at 12 pm Eastern Time! Check TPCG tomorrow for the BIG winner of $50 to Caroline Grace Jewelry!

My professional idol, PurpleLab "creatrix" Karen Robinovitz, is making her Home Shopping Network debut TOMORROW! (Follow her on Twitter!) Karen has tackled every niche of fabulosity from fashion journalism, party planning, brand consulting, trend forecasting...okay I could go on but if you think of a cool job, she's probably done it. The multi-talented marketing maven is the brains (and the beauty!) behind PurpleLab's "double duty beauty" products.

{The Complete Line}

PurpleLab's line ranges from appetite suppressing, lip plumping gloss to an all in one duo of mascara and eye liner. With names like Huge Lips Skinny Hips and Cheek Implants you may even find yourself wanting PurpleLab's products to simply pump up your "hip" factor.

{Hey! Here's Karen!}

To see the complete line of PurpleLab's products, visit their site and check them out on HSN tomorrow! If you are dying to hear more, I also will (hopefully) soon interview Karen about the ins and outs of being a fame ninja.

Tune in tomorrow, February 18th, at 9 am and 8 pm EST, and Friday, February 19th, at 12 pm, 7 pm, and 2 am EST to snag your favorite double-duty beauty faves at discounted introductory prices, woo!

This weekend my parents and I went to a wonderful wedding of a good family friend. The wedding was in Saftey Harbor, Florida and even though it was a little chilly, it was beautiful! The bride and bridal party looked absolutely stunning!!! Here are some photos from this weekend, I wore a Lilly Pulitzer tunic that I have been dying to wear and my mom wore a beaded Tory Burch dress. (And my dad might kill me if I were to post about his "outfit" so I shall refrain.)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Thank you to all my new followers and friends for entering the giveaway!!! I will be randomly picking the winner once I have 100 blog followers, so send your friends over! Make sure you enter while you still can to win a $50 certificate to Caroline Grace Jewelry!

The lovely ladies at the Pink Palace have done it again! Lilly Pulitzer Spring 2010 is full of bright colors, prints, and....ALBERTA! The Lilly crew loves the Gators and have featured everyone's favorite reptilian lady, Alberta the Gator, in their line of Spring 2010 prints. I have loved every Lilly crocodile and gator themed print but this one is actually made for us Gators! I would love to see this print on a beach bag, makeup case, or a belt! If you would like to read the Lilly ladies' blurb about their fabulous new print and "green" initiatives, check it out here!

It is no surprise that I LOVE accessories. A flashy pair of earrings, a statement necklace, or a bold cuff can transform the look of any outfit. Even the plainest of little black dresses can be jazzed up from the thoughtful incorporation of bling. Through the powers of the Twitterverse, I have become friends with Caroline of Caroline Grace Jewelry. (Follow her on Twitter here!) You may recognize her work from when I featured one of her stunning cuffs in my recent post on blue Spring trends.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, Caroline Grace Jewelry has generously sponsored my first blog GIVEAWAY! The winner will receive a gift certificate to her shop for $50!!! I am so thankful and excited to host this giveaway. Entering the contest is simple, and you can have up to 5 chances to win!

1. To enter, you MUST become a follower of this blog through your Google account (Click the "follow" button in the toolbar at the top of my page, it is easy...I promise!) and then comment on this post with your email address and note each of the ways you have entered.

If you aren't tired of them yet, the Kardashian Klan has yet another fabulous project in the works. (Really, but REALLY, who could get tired of them?!?) The Kardashian sisters (Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney if you live under a rock) have just launched a hot new collection for Bebe. The 13 piece collection is very trendy and not for your average shopper. Here are some of my favorite digs from the new line.

In honor of the Saint's victory over the Colts this weekend, I have chosen some of my favorite NOLA inspired gifts! I love southern, Louisiana style and can't wait for my next trip back to the Big Easy! Though I wish I was headin' to Cajun land for Mardi Gras this weekend, I will hopefully be making the trip for Jazz Fest this summer! Geaux Saints! (AND here's to hoping Kim K. will finally get that engagement rock! OK, I need a life...)
